I got 18 hits on PrivacyBadger, 12 his on NoScript, 19 hits on AdBlockPlus. I configure all 3 manually, and every now and then I check them to see if there is anything new in the ad/tracking domain, and block it immediately.

I don't know what my HOSTS file is blocking, but I assume it also cuts off some of the ads/trackers.



Just fyi Adblock Plus has an Acceptable Ads program [1], so you will still get ads, only the ad providers paid Adblock to get through.

If you actually want all ads blocked, I'd suggest Raymond Hill's uBlock Origin [2].

Just for the record, uBlock Origin already seems to block 2 items when opening just the consent form.

Since I never got farther than that on <whatever yahoo calls their privacy non-consent tech this week>, I don't know how much it blocks later.
